I love a simple lunch that comes together spontaneously when you have a fridge full of good seasonal stuff. I remember a summer when mom and I kept having meals of steamed swiss chard and little red potatoes with a good amount of butter and salt and pepper. Those simple seasonal things taste so good. I’m so satisfied when I can throw some ingredients together and come up with something like this: focacia bread, a big slathering of cream cheese, arugula and pickled beets. Mmmmm!
